Update on the CD contest

docjazz — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 15:04:28 +0000

Many thanks to those who entered the contest! Your comments in the guestbook (those who did indeed sign it - and remember that points in the quiz are involved in this) are also very encouraging, and highly appreciated.

One funny thing though … no one has scored 100% yet ! So - there are still plenty of chances, both for those who already entered, and those who are considering to enter.

The three highest scores will have Front Door Key sent to their homes … and if no one has scored 100 % when the contest closes - so be it! This means this could still be one of the ones who already entered. In any case, this is fun, and the more contestants try out the quiz, the better the chances of us repeating this contest, with a new quiz with new questions.

Happy quizzing !

Doc Jazz in magazine on protest music

docjazz — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 12:12:43 +0000

This issue of the magazine Global Bits, which appears three times a year in New Zealand, titled ‘Get Up Stand Up - Music For Change’ is an excellent overview about protest music throughout history and in all parts of the world. This special was produced in cooperation with Save the Children, in support of the United Nations Decade for Education for Sustainable Development. If you are into music, and want to know more about Music For Change, this issue is really worth while to read.

Click here to view the magazine.

The issue lists Doc Jazz among many significant songwriters in the world! Here’s a quote:

‘Labeling the Musical Intifadah movement Music for Human Rights, Palestinian artist and general surgeon Doc Jazz’s website states that it opposes all types of racism, including anti-semitism, zionism, and other ideologies that uphold beliefs in either the superiority or inferiority of other races. With his songs, Doc Jazz aims to prevent a viewpoint that differs from the usual perspective that people living in Europe, the United States and many other parts of the world, are presented with through their regular news sources. “Palestinians who paid for its [Israel’s] creation with the total annihilation of their sovereignty are still alive today. Most of them live in refugee camps in the countries surrounding their homeland.”‘

docjazz — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 22:28:13 +0000

Wherever on this planet you live - unless postal services are outside of your reach - you can win one of three available copies of Front Door Key, free of charge, sent to your home ! Here is how.All you need to do is enter a quiz which will first present you with 5 multiple choice questions about the CD. Then you will be asked for two favors: signing the website guestbook, and forwarding t by uhis or any other page of the Musical Intifadah to three friends.3 CD’s are available to be won - but you still need to get the answers right- within 45 minutes ! The timer starts as soon as you start the quiz - but of course, you only need 5 minutes max, right?

You will be asked things like: why the title Front Door Key? - and you get 3 choices.

The questions are not difficult, but you could say that people who are familiar with the music of Doc Jazz do have a bit of an advantage. A hint for those who are new here: the videos are likely to help you find an answer to most of the questions - plus the CD can be fully heard online if you click here. You should be able to pull it off !

How do we select the winner? Simple - the first three who have the highest score will have the CD sent to their homes, without paying a dime ! I would call this a typical nothing-to-lose situation, so why waste time and risk being beaten to it by another internet user? Get that CD!

The results will be checked on the 29th (so the contest closes at 28th of June, 2007), and announced on the website. Good luck! Give it a try!

NOTE: the quiz system sometimes generates messages that make it seem like something went wrong, like ‘was closed, user finished test early’- simply ignore these messages!

Doc Jazz Shop features new Merchandise

docjazz — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 22:23:34 +0000

Front Door Key is almost out! Have yourself an earful already, to get in the mood … for the release on the 2nd of June, Bitterzoet, Amsterdam !

LISTEN TO FRONT DOOR KEY

Make sure you also obtain a copy of ‘Of Love, Life and War’, the Doc Jazz songbook that contains the lyrics to 37 songs in English, pictures and information about the artist, and very informative appendices.

The Doc Jazz shop now features a new collection with the new Doc Jazz logo, which has now been branded the official logo. This unique design, which is symbolically tied to the Palestinian right of return, and has a shape that is reminiscent of that of a key, was developed during the preparations for Doc Jazz’s debut album ‘Front Door Key’.

The release for this album is due on June 2nd, so check out this link to stream some of the songs, and look out for the release !

Of course, you can also just get the value t-shirt, which will cost you only 10 $ !

All orders are handled through the trusted cafepress.com service, which has a full sattisfaction 30 day return option and does not bill your credit card until the item has been shipped.

The Doc Jazz “Free Palestine” logo, of which quite a few t-shirts have been sold, is an excellent way of putting your solidarity with the Palestinian people on display. This is especially important during the month of June, when the Israeli government will gloatingly celebrate 40 years of the illegal occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. In demonstrations, wearing this logo, you are making a clear and unmistakable statement.

Apparel comes in various sizes, and colors, and there is a truly wide choice of t-shirts, sweaters and caps with the Doc Jazz logo. By wearing the Doc Jazz logo, you are saying ” I sympathize with the Palestinian cause ” but only to those who ask you: who or what is Doc Jazz? When the circumstances are less optimal to be too outspokenly political, displaying the Doc Jazz logo will be a more subtle way of expressing your solidarity.

Generally, the buying (and wearing) of pro-Palestinian apparel is highly recommended by the Musical Intifadah, whether it is from the Doc Jazz collection or from any other reputable shop, like the Palestine Online Store or other respectable online sellers! If you are in the habit of wearing clothes that have statements anyway, why not express the symbols that stand for solidarity with those resisting injustice?
